Press release from the issuing company

July 14, 2008 - Pittsburgh, PA - Described by the author, industry pundit Frank Romano, as "the overnight sensation that took almost forty years," inkjet printing is now covered in its entirety in Inkjet!, commissioned by PIA/GATF's Digital Printing Council and newly released by PIA/GATF Press.

"In Inkjet!, Frank Romano has captured everything about inkjet's current and likely future place in our industry, leaving no stones unturned in an elegant and concise analysis that printers will undoubtedly come to rely upon," says Digital Printing Council Director Julie Shaffer.

"Inkjet is not hype," Romano says. "It deserves to be taken seriously, and those who are serious about their future in printing and graphic arts should pay attention."

About Inkjet!: History, Technology, Markets & Applications
Inkjet printing is a form of digital printing that doesn't use a static image carrier such as a plate. Digital printing is perfect for short-run needs, is currently the preferred way to do variable or versioned jobs, and a great fit for the
transpromo market. As quality and production speeds for inkjet presses come into alignment with industry needs, inkjet is seen by some to be an almost perfect printing process-if done correctly-as there is no image carrier, no makeready, instant drying, and integrated finishing.
